Premium Member If I Let My Mind Meander
If I let my mind meander -
like a river backwards through time -
past rocks and turbulent waters
and also through the calm times
when the surface of that river was smooth as glass -
I go further back to a time 
when my life flowed like a stream,

Premium Member Our Deepest Desire
In times of old I’ve heard it said,
That all roads led to Rome.
Now like the beating of distant drums,
Our hearts are leading us home.

It’s not the things that we possess,
That reveal what we deeply desire.
It’s a longing for peace and serenity,
To which our spirit doth...

So close, you were skin to my flesh,
          Marrow to my bones ...
               Suffusing my being and breath

Altar
I sat on the bench and the tears began to flow
Knowing that was only one place I needed to go
But for some strange reason my feet wouldn't walk
And at the same time my mouth couldn't talk
I desperately wanted to get to that place
But I was...

A Rugged Piece of Wood
A RUGGED PIECE OF WOOD

A rugged piece of wood became the stable where
Two people came to stay--the only room was there.
A rugged piece of wood became a manger fair;
A Baby soon was born and placed to sleep in there.
A rugged piece of wood the Carpenter...

Honey Bee Flying Around In Winter
I have been reluctant to pen this verse 
Because I don't understand what it was all about
I have been reluctant to pen this verse
Because I don't want anyone to  get hurt
Morning comes and evening goes
And everyone is looking for an easy way to end...

I remember when 
love spoken plainly 
conveyed all manner
of hidden agendas
hands instead of 
tap dancing keys
unlocked 
a body of work
stroked skin melting into
sultry deep pink summer satin
caressed with a racing 
velvet lipped kiss
smelling the other 
hint of warm leather 
dived deep 
swimming freestyle along 
the...

Premium Member Canto Xix Hell Translation
Simon wizard, you poor under his sway
That all things of God, which then of good will
Must be always brides, and you birds of prey

For gold and silver adulterate still,
Now it's time that the trumpet sounds for you,
Because you in third circle just stay ill.

We were...

The Visit
I visited you today,
At that place where you lay.
I placed flowers and a picture of you and me at your cold headstone.
As I was leaving, the wind picked up,
Throwing my hair in my tear-filled eyes,
That soon streamed down my face,
I tried to t hold them...

The Fiddler's Tune, Part Ii
When Monty didn’t return to the town
in sorrow the love-struck Monique was drowned,
and townsfolk clucked when they saw her tears,
would say,”It turned out just how I feared.

“You never can trust the musician sort,
they’re here one moment, then gone on their horse.”
Big Harry consoled the sobbing...

Flowers In My Minds Garden
all i remember are those cold nights when my fingers were ticking on the black pads
describing the way your presence changed the universe inside of me;
planting flowers in my minds garden.
the way you described your desires and thoughts in poetic form were like mine long...

Did You Observe It
One day I said to love
Will you be rain
She is speechless !

Next day I expressed to love 
Will you be sunshine
She is soundless !

Day after day , I have been requesting her
Will you be sky
Will you be bird
Will you be my pleasure
She is silent !

I Am Feeling Alive Again
I see the smiles beaming in your eyes
And I can hear the passion moving in your voice
I can feel your breath moving inside me
And your spirit soaring above me
I wish if I could fully understand the science of the mind
And the mystery that is floating...
